Some people say that European football is like a pyramid, standing in different positions, pursuing nature is also different.

It's like for those professional or semi-professional teams in the lower leagues, their biggest pursuit is not results, not strength, but survival, all they want is to struggle to survive.

For the lower teams in the big four leagues, they also want to live, but they want to live more decently.

The pursuit of mid-table teams is naturally much more complicated, they no longer have to worry about survival, they begin to want to climb up, try to climb higher, and even hope to be like Real Sociedad, occasionally break out, win a top-four in the league, rush to the Champions League, attract the attention of the world, or blow up an upset against a powerful giant.

Towards the upper reaches of the country, they start to pursue results, they can compete in more competitions, in addition to the domestic league, the cup is also their pursuit, the European results are also their concern, and they will even start to compete with the big teams for rookies.

Because they can't afford to steal the best stars, they can only snatch the players they can afford to be the best in the future, and they even start to value every big talk.

But when it comes to giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona, they don't need to worry about survival, because they have a lot of money, and they don't need to worry about results, because no matter how bad they are, they can keep the top three in the league, and they don't have to compete for any stars, as long as they are willing to give money, they can poach the best players in the world.

But the team at this level still has its own pursuit, that is, excellence.

They are not willing to be ordinary, they want to prove to the world every season, every game, even every minute, that they are different from others, from other teams.

Chao Zhuo is the label of the top giants!

Throughout the ages, there may have been many teams that have reached excellence, but more often than not, it is only a short-lived flash in the pan, and it is qualified to be called a giant.

But how easy is it to stay outstanding in the long term?

Especially in the dialogue between the two giants, when a superior team is beaten by another even better team, this group of star players will inevitably become depressed.

For those of their top stars, there is nothing more disappointing and sad than accepting the reality of helplessness and accepting failure, especially when facing sworn enemies and number one rivals.

The score of 4 to 1 made the Barcelona dressing room filled with helplessness and frustration at halftime.

……

In the summer of one or two years, Real Madrid swept the entire European football scene with the results of the Triple Crown, winning the Champions League three times in a row, establishing immortal feats and achieving great achievements in the eyes of countless people.

It was hailed as the pinnacle of Real Madrid's moment in the last half-century.

But it was also in that summer that Real Madrid sold four important players in one go, Ibrahimovic, McConn, Kaka and Maxwell, and everyone began to speculate that this would be the beginning of Real Madrid's decline from prosperity.

It was also in this summer that Barcelona brought in Neymar with a staggering investment and sounded the clarion call for an arms race.

At that time, everyone at Barcelona believed that they were starting to have what it took to challenge Real Madrid, because the Galaxy lost several heavyweight superstars, and they began to become less superb, less admirable.

Last season's Real Madrid won the double, but missed out on the Champions League, and only stopped at the semi-finals, everyone is even more convinced of this, because the La Liga title is more like the afterglow of the Real Madrid dynasty, and the Copa del Rey has always been more chicken.

In this case, Barcelona has increased its investment and introduced Cristiano Ronaldo with a huge amount of money, wanting to surpass Real Madrid in one fell swoop and become the greatest and most extraordinary club on the planet again, and everyone in the team is full of expectations for this.

But a few months have passed, and most of the season has passed, but everyone has helplessly found that the powerful and invincible Real Madrid is back!

Yang Yang is becoming more and more courageous, and is ushering in his golden years, he has brought a new round of superstars such as Hazard, Di Maria, Modric, David Silva and so on, to form an even more powerful galaxy battleship than before, and once again killed.

This time they are more balanced and more stable.

La Liga has played 28 games so far, they are unbeaten and have drawn just two, won all eight of their Champions League games and won the Copa del Rey.

Carlo Ancelotti has reached the peak of his coaching career with his outstanding results this season, and Yang Yang has also ushered in the peak of his career.

In La Liga, Barcelona used to be the number one favorite to win the championship, but was quickly taken away by Real Madrid; In the Champions League, Barcelona was also the number one favorite to win the championship, but it was quickly taken away by Real Madrid.

And now, this team is known as the second most powerful team in European football after Real Madrid, and this super club that can kill opponents in the Champions League has been beaten into a sieve by the powerful and almost invincible Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium.

With a score of four to one, it can be said that the game has ended early.

This is a helpless and frustrating fact!

Perhaps, in this battle, we will send Real Madrid to the championship podium again!

This is the thought of all the Barcelona players in the dressing room, and although it is frustrating and reluctant, it may be true.

In front of the rest of the team, they are the high, invincible Barcelona, one of the best teams on the planet, but in front of Real Madrid, they are a bunch of losers, a bunch of underdogs who can't beat Real Madrid no matter what.

This made the group of superb, if not great, stars in the locker room feel depressed and frustrated.

Perhaps, in the home team's dressing room not far away, they are celebrating in a big way!

…………

…………

In the home team's dressing room, the Real Madrid players were not celebrating in a big way.

Although the atmosphere in the dressing room was indeed very good, with many players active and elated, in fact, Real Madrid also exposed a lot of problems in the first half.

For example, the first goal conceded is that the team's defense is not focused enough, the formation is not stretched, and the distance between the defenders is not maintained well.

There is also the problem of Ramos, which is a hidden danger.

The vice-captain of Real Madrid is also a player with obvious strengths and weaknesses, his strengths are loved to death, which is what any team wants, a fighter who is always full of fighting spirit and passion for the game, and at the same time he has the blood of the traditional Juanito spirit of Real Madrid.

But his shortcomings are just as hateful because he is reckless.

Xavi Martinez and Vermaelen are Ramos' regular partners, both of whom are relatively calm and calm, and they both have to remind Ramos constantly during the game.

It's like the pass Xavi sent to Messi in the first half, if Ramos is in a hurry to grab the ground, it will definitely be broken through by Messi, and then form a single knife, which is very fatal.

Because later, a similar scene appeared once, fortunately Javi Martinez returned to the defense in time, and Messi's shot was also a little hasty, and it did not form a chance, but it had to be defended.

There are also Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, both of whom have amazing individual abilities and require enough attention from Real Madrid's defenders, who can concede goals if they make a slight mistake.

Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane reminded the players that the four-to-one advantage is indeed huge, but it is still important to stay focused.

"We're facing Barcelona!"

In the second half, Real Madrid's game strategy was also different from the first half, that is, to seek stability.

Carlo Ancelotti wants the team to take it as soon as they see it.

The stadium is like a battlefield, and there is a saying in it.

Choosing when to start a war is certainly a matter of wisdom, but choosing when and how to end a war is a hundred times more advanced art.

Back at Ajax, Yang Yang learned from Louis van Gaal and Van Basten that a really smart player has to learn how to stop and slow down on the pitch.

Anyone can run, but how to stop, how to slow, but not necessarily.

All of this is to show that taking what is good is also a piece of wisdom, or even more so.

…………

…………

Yang Yang had six good scoring chances in the first half, and he took four of them to score four goals.

This is extremely impressive efficiency, because in comparison, Barcelona's Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have wasted a lot of opportunities, which should be the difference between Yang Yang and other superstars.

He was very consistent, even unbelievably stable.

But because of this, Barcelona began to increase their marking of Yang Yang in the second half, and he could only start to change his function and create space for his teammates through running, so that Suarez, Hazard and Di Maria got more chances.

Barcelona became more consistent, began to patiently control the ball, looking for opportunities, but easily stopped giving Real Madrid a counter-attack.

Moreover, due to physical consumption, Real Madrid could not continue to adhere to the high-pressing tactics in the second half, which also made Barcelona's midfield control more fluid.

You know, most of Real Madrid's consecutive goals in the first half were due to their high pressing.

But in the slow passing, Barcelona has a sharp killing intention.

Messi retreated to the middle line to receive the ball in the midfield, and after stopping the ball and turning, he quickly captured a gap, and quickly sent a long-distance long pass close to the ground, which directly tore through Real Madrid's defense and sent it to his back.

Cristiano Ronaldo slashed in at breakneck speed and Ramos made quick comebacks, but was still a little slower as the Portuguese scrambled to receive the ball and slid into the box.

Ramos was close behind, but also hurried to his feet.

The Real Madrid vice-captain's calf touched the Portuguese's calf, and Cristiano Ronaldo collapsed in the box.

The referee's whistle blew for a foul and reached into his chest pocket and ran towards Ramos.
